Let’s play a game. What’s this colour? B–l–u–e.

I know. It’s blue. My car’s blue. Look!

Now, it’s my turn. What’s this word? F–o–u–r. I know. That’s four. Here are four pencils! My turn.

What’s this, Trevor? P–u–r–p–l–e.

Er … Is it a pencil? Pencils are my favourite food.

No, Trevor. It’s purple. Your hair’s purple.

OK, Trevor. It’s your turn.

Er … What’s this? T–h–r–e–e. Three. I’ve only got three pencils!

Where’s the red pencil? Are pencils your favourite food, Trevor?

Er, yes, they are. Sorry, Monty.

OK, everybody. This bag is for school. Let’s look.

OK, Marie!

Hmm. Is there a ruler? Yes, there is. It’s a ‘Maskman’ ruler.

Look, Marie. Here’s an eraser.

Good! Can you put it in the bag, please, Monty?

Now there’s an eraser in the bag, Marie.

Good! Thank you, Monty.

Now … how many pencils are there?

There are 9, 10, 11 pencils.

11 pencils! Where’s the pencil? Trevor?!

Sorry. Here you are. Pencils are my favourite food.

Whose is this robot? It’s Simon’s.

Hello. What’s your name?

My name is Metal Mouth.

Oh. Can you walk, Metal Mouth?

I can walk and I can talk.

Well, I can walk. I can talk, and I can spell. U–g–l–y.

I know! I know! … It’s ugly!

Yes, it is … and it can’t fly.

Maskman! Say ‘sorry’, please.

Sorry. It’s OK, Maskman. You’re a superhero and you’re Simon’s favourite toy.

Trevor, close your eyes and count to 20.

Where are they? Whose is that tail? Ha ha! I can see you, Monty. You’re under the armchair. OK. Well done, Trevor.

Look. Whose feet are those? Come out, Maskman. We can see you next to the bookcase.

Now, where’s Marie? Marie’s in the cupboard. Look! That’s her hair.

Eeeek! What’s that? It’s a toy horse. I win!

I’m having tomatoes and carrots.

Can I have some apple juice, please?

Here you are. Is there any chocolate cake?

No, there isn’t, but there’s some chocolate ice cream.

Is this orange juice yours, Monty? No, it isn’t mine. It’s Marie’s.

What are you eating, Trevor? Is it chicken?

Er, no. It isn’t chicken. It’s a long brown pencil!

Oh, Trevor!

Trevor! Trevor! Pssst! Are you sleeping?

Yes, I am. Trevor! Maskman! Can you be quiet, please? I’m trying to sleep!

I can’t sleep. Well, count sheep, Maskman.

11, 12, 13 … Oh no! My sheep aren’t sleeping. They’re jumping! I can’t sleep.

We can’t sleep now.

OK. Let’s talk about farms. Farm dogs can get sheep. Farm cats can catch mice. And we get milk from cows.

Yes ... yes, I know. Maskman!

What are you doing, Maskman?

I’m sleeping, Marie. Goodnight.

Monty! Are you wearing my long white jacket and my glasses? Yes, I am. I’m Marie Mouse.

Trevor! What are you wearing?

I’m wearing blue trousers, a blue shirt, a blue hat and a black mask. Who am I?

I can swim and fly, but I can’t sing or dance. I’m … Masktroll!

Look at Maskman!

Maskman! Are you eating a pencil?

Yes, I am. Who am I?

You’re … Trollman! That’s right! I can’t swim and I can’t spell.

No, you can’t, Trollman, but you’ve got a lot of friends.

What a great game of soccer! Yes! What a great goal!

Number 18 is kicking the ball. Now number 15 is hitting the ball with his head.

Ouch! My hands! No, Maskman! You can’t touch the ball with your hands!

Now number 15 is running with the ball.

Trevor! Are you eating the ball?

No, I’m not.

Come and play football with us, Marie!

Oh no, boys! I love reading about soccer, but I don’t like playing it.

It’s Marie’s birthday today.

Let’s have a party for Marie! Let’s make her a pencil cake! No, Trevor. Marie would like a lemon cake.

Let’s have burgers and fries to eat! No, Maskman. It isn’t your birthday.

Now, let’s make the cake!

Shh. Marie’s coming! Now we can’t make her a cake.

Happy birthday, Marie!

Thanks, boys! Would you like to come to the café with me?

Can I have some pencil cake, please?

Here we are in the mountains.

Look, I’ve got a postcard from Maskman.

Listen. ‘Hello. I’m at the beach. It’s beautiful. I love sleeping in the sun and drinking lemonade.’

I want to go to ‘Star Beach’ and see Maskman.

OK, Trevor. We can go and find Maskman.

Hmm … I want my new dress, my new shoes ... and my new sun hat and sunglasses.

I’m on holiday. Can you get me some lemonade, please, Metal Mouth?

Maskman! Is this ‘Star Beach’?

Hello. Er, yes, it is. Ha ha ha!
